RAID is a bad idea?
It's facinating that you should come up just as I was planning a RAID setup myself. I have setup a 320Gb outside drive on my little Dell E310 and formatted it NTFS. Then I backed up my entire system to it and scheduled automatic daily backups to it. My plan was to set a couple of matched 320 Gb drives into the computer, set them up RAID 0, reload Windows and run a system restore off the outside drive. Do your comments hold for a system that is regularly backed up conventionally?
